What made you start playing the ukulele?I grew up listening to Blues and Free Jazz. There was no ukulele in Free Jazz, but there was Victoria Spivey, who came to Germany with the American Folk & Blues Festival and played "Grant Spivey" with Willie Dixon. This sound made a big impression on me. Double bass, ukulele and a great voice. As an adult I started playing guitar. Much much I later I met again my first musical love - the ukulele.
